Chapter 1281 A Gu's Bull's Knife
On the grassland north of Heishan Mountain, the cavalry of the brigade was heading west without any permission.
At this time, the grassland was breeze and clouds were covered with red clouds, and heavy snow was about to fall. However, this team of cavalrymen with the cross flag were not afraid of the severe cold at all, and they were still marching in the north wind.
On the grassland not far from this cavalry, there were dozens of steamed bun-shaped tents gathered together, and there were flocks of cattle and sheep nearby. More than a hundred children on the grassland were guarding the tents and cattle and sheep, looking at the marching team with vigilance and horror.
These herders were all Tatar herders who went south to avoid the cold, and they didn't know which small tribe they belonged to. They would not have crossed the desert to go south to Yinshan and Heishan areas to grazed. However, the climate in northern desert has been really cold in recent years, so some Tatars who could not stand the cold were waiting for the opportunity to go south.
The ancient White Tatar Wang tribe, which originally lived in Yinshan and north of Heishan, was able to move to the north bank of Hetao, west of Heishan, because it joined the Tianli Church in Hexi, and settled in the comfortable and rich grasslands on the north bank of Hetao. Therefore, Yinshan and the grasslands north of Heishan once became "borderless land", attracting the Tatars in the northern desert to come here to spend winter.
But not long after, the Tatars' enemy, the Bubu people, also crossed the desert and came to the warm and humid grasslands in the south of the desert. However, they did not come to sit in the winter, but went south to turn the grasslands in the north and south of the Yinshan Mountains and some of the Hetao grasslands that originally belonged to the Great Liao Dynasty into their own pastures.
The Tatars were naturally dissatisfied with the behavior of the Bubu people occupying the plump and warm pastures. But what if they were not convinced? The Bubu people defected to the Great Jin Kingdom early! With the support of the Jin Kingdom, it was not natural to take over the pastures that originally belonged to the Khitans?
On the prairie, the strong are always respected. Whoever has a faster knife, a more fertile grassland, more people, and has a higher reputation, will be dependent on it. Not to mention that after the Western Naiman tribe, which has common beliefs with the Shubu people, was defeated by Yelu Dashi, many wandering tribes joined the Shubu tribe and became a trusted tribe that could be relied on!
So the Zubu people who went south were so prosperous that it was enviable. The nine Tatar tribes that could have been on par with Zubu people now had to survive in the shadow of the Zubu people. There is no need to think about Yinshan and the grassland south of Heishan. Unless it becomes the Zubu people, you cannot cross Yinshan and half a step forward in Heishan!
Becoming the Bubian tribe means converting to Nestorianism and participating in the war between the Bubians, Khitans, and the Tianli Sect in Hexi.
As for Yinshan and the pastures north of Heishan Mountain, the Tatars could avoid the cold, but they had to pay a lot of tribute and endure the blackmail of the Bu soldiers.
This small Tatar tribe with only dozens of herders had certainly paid tribute to the southern foot of the Yin Mountains to the cattle and sheep, but who could guarantee that the passing stupa army would not force the tribe to hand over more cattle and sheep, or even women to provide them with lust?
However, this armor is exquisite, sharp, and has amazing numbers. It is full of evil spirits. It is rarely restricted and has no intention of invading the Tatar herders along the way. It just keeps its head covering and rushes.
The Tatars, who had escaped the disaster, had no joy on their faces, but their eyebrows were tighter and tighter.
The army that blocked the people was so elite, and they were rushing to the road. It was not a good thing no matter how you look at it!
Is there a big war going on this winter on the Hetao grassland?
The brigade of the silencers was surrounded by a man who had never worn armor and was wrapped in a black cloak. It was Meng'an Wanyan Loushi, the right vanguard of the Great Jin Kingdom!
It was Wanyan Loushi, not a leader of the Zubu tribe. The 6,000 cavalry led by Loushi were also the elite of the Jin army, called the Right Pioneer Meng'an, and was one of the two aces in Aguda's hands!
A Guda, who was frustrated in the grassland of the dam, took out the spirit of killing chickens this time, and regarded the first battle as a decisive battle. So he sent his two trump cards from the beginning, Meng'an, the right vanguard of Wanyan Loushi and Meng'an, the left vanguard of Wanyan Yinshuke.
The two Meng'an's 12,000 cavalry were divided into two routes under the banner of stopping the people. The right vanguard Meng'an was in the south and the left vanguard Meng'an's march route was north. They rushed towards the Liang Kingdom army stationed in Heishan City.
At the same time, Hudus also gathered 30,000 troops to advance west along the Yellow River, approaching Heishan City. Their mission was to act as bait and lead Zhang Li's troops stationed in Heishan City out.
Then, Meng'an, the two Jurchen pioneers, surrounded him from the north and cut off the context and retreated back to the Heishan City. He blocked Zhang Li at the foot of the Heishan Mountain and waited for Aguda's main force to arrive and annihilate it.
Of course... If Zhang Li wants to break through at all costs, Lou Shi and Silver Skill will not stop him. After all, the impact of the Hexi Knights is quite amazing! Lou Shi and Silver Skill can only prevent Zhang Li from returning to Black Mountain City.
As long as Zhang Li cannot retreat into Heishan City, Heishan City will fall into the hands of Jin soldiers.
If you get the Black Mountain, Yelu Dashi will not continue to move south, but will turn to the West to the Western Regions.
Zhang Li was defeated and Dashi fled. Near Hetao, the world of Jurchens and Zubu... Aguda's requirements were not high, and he didn't think about Hedong and Shaanxi. As long as the Song people could cede the territory north of Hengshan and Lingzhou from Xixia to the Jin Kingdom, and pay 1 million yuan of annual monies every year, he was satisfied and agreed to deal with Zhou Kingdom with Song Kingdom.
The reason why Aguda wanted to obtain north of Hengshan and Lingzhou was actually to avoid the edge of Zhou State. At this time, Aguda already knew that Hebule would be destroyed by Xiao Seser. It was only a matter of time before Linhuang Mansion was lost.
So he had to find enough land in the northwest to accommodate more than a dozen Meng'an territory on Shangjing Road and Tokyo Road.
From this perspective, this Hetao Battle is actually to open up the space for the Jin Kingdom to survive, so it is impossible for Agu to beat him and kill him.
If he was defeated by Zhang in Hetao, the consequences would be unimaginable!
...
In the southeast of Yinshan, there is a large area of plump land surrounded by three sides of the Yinshan Mountains. It is under the jurisdiction of Fengzhou, the Great Jin Kingdom, and is probably the Hohhot area in later generations. At this time, it was full of cattle, sheep and tents.
The military flags of the big gold flew between the tents.
Nearly 90,000 Jin soldiers were gathering here for a short rest.
Aguda immediately stood on a hill near the camp, looking at the huge military camp below and the vast and withered yellow grassland around the military camp. The corners of his mouth gently curled up, as if he smiled.
The speed of the army was satisfactory, and capturing the nomadic tribes they encountered along the way ensured that the whereabouts of the Jurchen army were not exposed.
At this moment, others must have thought that their 100,000 troops had arrived in Linhuang Mansion, Tokyo, and would never have thought that their family would have gone in a thousand miles and ran to the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
And this place is also very good, with the danger of Yinshan Mountains, the solid Yellow River, the fertile land, and it is suitable for farming and herding. It can be used as the place where the King of the Great Jin Dynasty is located...
Several generals of the Jin Kingdom rushed up the hill like a flying horse, and then got off the horse and saluted not far from Aguda. The first person was Wanyan Zongbi. He reported: "Father, Hudus sent envoys to report that the Song people's Shuofang Army and Lingzhou Army had already arrived in Shuozhou on the south bank of the Yellow River. It seemed that they were going to meet with the Liang army in Heishan City!"
"Oh?" Aguda was slightly surprised, "How many people from Song came?"
"It seems like there are tens of thousands!"
Aguda also knew that the Song army's Shuofang Army was an elite not only with the outstanding achievements of the past, but also the troops sent by Hudus to the Song Dynasty Shuofang Road to rob them and suffered losses! If it weren't for stopping the people quickly, they would have suffered heavy losses.
The Lingzhou Army only heard of its name and knew it was an elite soldier founded by Gao Qiu!
Gao Qiu and Gao Wumu were known as the leader of the four famous generals of the Song Dynasty during his lifetime. They were so good at martial arts. The elite soldiers he founded would not be weak soldiers.
In addition, the Shuofang Army and the Lingzhou Army are both mainly infantry and the cavalry is not very powerful. If they encounter it alone, Aguda will be confident that they will be defeated.
But if these two armies meet with the Liang army, it will be a big trouble. The Liang army is all cavalry! Moreover, the main force is armored cavalry, and there are nomadic cavalry from the Wanggu tribe, the Tatar tribe, and the Uighur tribe to help.
Once they join forces with the most powerful infantry of the Song army, it will be difficult to fight.
"Wu Shu, go to see Hurhudus immediately," said Aguda, "let him send an envoy Shuozhou City to surrender to the State of Song, and propose to exchange the grasslands on the south bank of the Yellow River for the grasslands on the north bank of the Yellow River."
"My son receives the order!"
...
"What? Hudus wants to surrender, and he also needs to use the grassland south of the Yellow River to exchange the grassland north of the Yellow River? This is a fraud! He wants to alienate us and Liang Kingdom, and he cannot believe him."
A Guda's plan was immediately discovered by He Wentao, the general manager of the Shuofang Road military commander.
"Ze's brother's words are reasonable, this must be a deception and cannot be trustworthy." Gao Yaoqing, who had just arrived in Shuozhou, also supported He Wentao. He told Wang Anzhong and Tong Guan, "Supervisor Xuan, Shuaisi, and if he wanted to take the Jin and go to Song, he would ask for his own advice and move his family to our country. How could he exchange the Henan grassland for the Hebei grassland?"
Tong Guan held his beard and nodded slightly. Hudus was not very strong. If it was included in the inner court, it could be used by the court. But he wanted the grassland on the north bank of the Hetao... This was a bit incredible.
"Does Hudusi think he has the strength to defeat Tianlizi's 30,000 cavalry?" Lu Qian, the chief minister of Shuofang Road, also looked suspicious, "Besides, Yelu Dashi led 400,000 people on his way south... How many soldiers and horses are there in Hudusi?"
Seeing that the martial artists present were all timid, Wang Anzhong shook his head: "No matter what he is cheating, can't we take the territory of Hurhudus on the south bank of the Yellow River first? If we take it there, the Yellow River defense line will be complete. It will be difficult for the northern barbarians to go south to rob."
Seeing that several military officers were silent, Wang Anzhong asked again: "What else can we do? The court does not allow us to join forces with Zhang Li. Yelu Dashi... to take down the territory that originally belonged to the Liao Dynasty Heqing Army, Jin Su Army, and Ningbianzhou, which was also a contribution!"
